Influencer Jade Tuncdoruk’s Uber Eats rant prompts publicists to pull her from invites list

The Sydney fashion influencer has reportedly found herself axed by publicists after a Facebook post she made about “foreigners” resurfaced.

Aussie influencer Jade Tuncdoruk has found herself in hot water this week, following a refund “demand” she made — and now a complaint she made to Uber Eats in 2017 after it resurfaced online.

The 26-year-old complained to the online food ordering and delivery platform about their “annoying non-English speaking delivery drivers”, which has reportedly prompted publicists to pull her from their upcoming invite lists.

In her rant, she explained how she got a notification saying her food was arriving, taking the person “a further 20 minutes to get to my door because he hadn’t read my delivery instructions”.

“When I called him to explain he didn’t understand a word I was saying … when foreigners are delivering it takes twice as long for me to receive my then cold food. Sort it out,” the post to Uber Eats read.

After it was made public, Jade took to social media to apologise to “anyone I have hurt”.

“I’m sorry to anyone I’ve hurt with my comments. I hold myself accountable for my actions,” she wrote. “It doesn’t excuse anything, but know that I have grown immensely in the past several years. I always do my best to be someone others can look up to and I know I’ve let people down and for that I’m truly sorry.”

However, according to Daily Telegraph, the scathing post has prompted some to distance themselves from the influencer who boasts almost half a million Instagram followers.

The publication reported a high-profile publicist on Friday said she had been pulled from invite lists and brands were refraining from being associated with her.

“This could very well get her cancelled,” one publicist told the Daily Telegraph.

“There has been one too many faux pas now.”

It comes after Jade was slammed earlier this week for “demanding” a small business give her a refund on a deposit for her honeymoon stay.

In the now deleted post, Jade told her followers the couple requested a refund from Weekenda, “but they said the best they could do was put it back up online to be booked by someone else”.

“Six weeks out of the booking and we’ve asked again for a refund which they’ve denied,” Jade’s post read.

“They’ve had months to refund us for a booking we don’t need.”

The influencer went on to say “they’re taking our money just because they can”.

She described it as “incredibly poor form and so disappointing”, adding that businesses were “taking advantage of people in the middle of a pandemic”.

Jade cancelled her Hunter Valley honeymoon with fiance Lachie Brycki, after postponing her wedding due to Covid.

After she included a link to the small business’s Instagram page, some of her followers lashed out at the company, with Jade then sharing another post announcing that Weekenda had agreed to refund her deposit.

Weekenda has since addressed the social media storm with a post of its own.

The company’s owners said they “have really struggled through 2021, and not paid ourselves at all between July 1 and December 1”.

They explained the business had “weathered the Covid lockdowns” and “are determined to come out of this stronger than ever”.

They will be gifting the “Weekenda” Jade would have booked at Meerea Park Estate to one of their followers.

“If it’s good enough for Jade, think how awesome this prize will be for you and 7 besties,” the business posted to Instagram.

“In all seriousness, we take our guests enjoyment – whether they’re an influencer or not – really seriously.

“All guests are provided with fair Terms and Conditions prior to confirming bookings and it’s a shame in this instance Jade felt it was more important to try to bypass the rules all of our other guests (and she) had agreed to, by using her social influence to put pressure on us.

“We believe in the power of influencers, but using a following for personal gain at the loss and detriment to another small business, just isn’t cool.”
